Exclude Element From CSS Class In Div - html

Is it possible to not apply a css class to a specific element in the class?
For example:
<div className="container-fluid bg-2 text-center">
<h3>LinkedIn</h3>
<a target="_blank" href= {"https://www.linkedin.com"}><img src={linkedin} className={"linkedin"}/></a>
<p>Please follow my LinkedIn account to get updated on my experiences and skills and join my network!</p>
</div>
In this code I would like to exclude the img tag from the container class so the CSS isn't applied to that element. I know I could just make two separate divs of the same class and put the anchor tag in the middle but I want to know if I can do this programmatically.

div.dummy :not(a):not(img) {
background: black;
color: white;
font - size: 20 px;
width:100%;
height:50px;
position:relative;
}
<div class="container-fluid dummy bg-2 text-center">
<h3>LinkedIn</h3>
<a target="_blank" href={ "https://www.linkedin.com"}>
<img src={linkedin} class={ "linkedin"}/>
</a>
<p>Please follow my LinkedIn account to get updated on my experiences and skills and join my network!
</p>
</div>
You can see in the above demo that except img tag, all are getting affected.
Try using :not selector
Read here consulting can i use
else have a particular css for the img overriding any css you want.

The`:not(selector) selector matches every element that is NOT the specified element/selector.
:not(.container>img) {
background-color: blue;
//your css here
}

How do I exclude a particular class from a CSS property?

I'm trying to not apply hoover on one of my CSS class with the :not() selector.
.left-menu-sidenav a:not(.selected):hover {
background-color: #6689E6;
color: white;
width: 100%;
}
<div className="left-menu-sidenav">
<a href="/">
<img alt={"left-menu"} className="left-menu-logo-image selected" src={left_menu_logo}></img>
</a>
</div>
I have a lot of tag in my page and I have to keep this logo in the "left-menu-sidenav".
What did I miss to exclude the hover from this particular class?
The a:not(.selected) is rereferring to an <a> tag selector but your HTML code has no class at all, only the <img/> within it has a selected class.
Consider why your image has this class, what toggles it.
Probably it should be moved to the parent <a> tag

Restart css inheritance and hover

I have a problem. In my web project I use css. In some moments I want to restart inheritance form the parent class.
I have some classes which define my styles, but I want to reset all style without hover.
When I use reset in this way:
<a id="hrefSite" href="{{route('about') }}"><i style="all: unset; font-size: 150px;" class="conf conf-ui"></i></a>
It works, but when I add color: #868e96; in style inline, the hover dosn't work.
These two classes conf conf-ui must stay because there I load the google, fb, etc icons.
I tried write another class to do it:
.newStyle{
all: unset; !important;
font-size: 150px;
color: #868e96;
}
<a id="hrefSite" href="{{route('about') }}"><i class="conf conf-ui newStyle"></i></a>
but it isn't working correctly. Size is incorrect.
EDIT:
This is my hierarchy in HTML.
<div class="col-md-12 col-lg-4">
<div class="cr">
<div class="cr-block cntr"
<div class="icon">
<a id="hrefSite" href="{{route('about') }}"><i class="conf conf-ui newStyle"></i></a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I found the mistake.
I tried to set style to <i> tag. When I changed it for <div> tag it works.
But now I don't now why.
It's due to that in css I can't set style for <i> tag?
Can someone explain this?

Using CSS to Highlight Current Page

I want to highlight current page by using CSS, but somehow it doesn't work. Please take a look at my code below.
HTML
<body id="home">
<div id="mainNav">
<a href="/Dashboard/Index" id="navIndex">
<div class="circle text-uppercase">
<div class="icon23X27"><img src="~/Content/icons/dashBoard.png" width="23px" height="27px" align="middle" /></div><span class="textStyle">Dashboard</span>
</div>
</a>
<a href="/samples/register/" id="navRegister">
<div class="circle text-uppercase">
<div class="icon23X27"><img src="~/Content/icons/samples.png" width="23px" height="27px" align="middle" /></div><span class="textStyle">Sample Registration</span>
</div> </a>
<a href="/samples/search/">
.........
</div>
CSS
body#/samples/register a#navRegister .textStyle {
background-color:red !important
}
The syntax is wrong. Use this way:
body a#navRegister[href="/samples/register"] .textStyle {
background-color:red !important
}
Yours is a worst example of having div inside <a>, which is similar to having a bottle inside some water, not water inside bottle, which is right one.
Take your body ID, in this case #home and combine it with the id on the home nave element, in this case #navIndex:
#home #navIndex .textStyle {
background-color: red;
}
Then you can add a selector for each of your pages to catch the current page in the nav with css alone:
#home #navIndex .textStyle,
#register #navRegister .textStyle {
background-color: red;
}
Drop the !important it's only necessary in a couple of edge cases in css and should be avoided (I appreciate one of those edge cases is just trying to definitely make a selector show some visible effect, which may well be what you're doing with the posted css).
You'd also benefit from using classes instead of ids as css selectors.
Caveat:
It's probably better to render this in the html server side as the server can use the request URL to decide which nav item is current. That way you can just add a selected-nav-text class to your current nav span and your css becomes:
.selected-nav-text {
background-color: red;
}
This is simpler, you can write logic once server side to calculate the current nav and css once to highlight it, then when you change your nav the functionality will come instantly.

How can i make it work?
If you have an HTML5 DocType it should work, anything before that won't allow inline elements a to wrap block level elements div.
Even if you use an anchor unless you do some z-indexing then your inner link likely won't be seen how you are expecting...since it's the same link it shouldn't be a problem, but that then becomes repetitive.

a href link for entire div in HTML/CSS

Here is what I am trying to accomplish in HTML/CSS:
I have images in different heights and widths, but they are all under 180x235. So what I want to do is create a div with border and vertical-align: middle them all. I have successfully done that but now I am stuck on how to properly a href link the entire div.
Here is my code:
<div id="parentdivimage" style="position:relative;width:184px;height:235px;border-width:2px;border-color:black;border-style:solid;text-align:center;">
<div id="childdivimage" style="position:absolute;top:50%;height:62px;margin-top:-31px;">
<img src="myimage.jpg" height="62" width="180">
</div>
</div>
Please note that for the sake of copy pasting here easily, the style code is inline.
I read somewhere that I can simply add another parent div on top of the code and then do a href inside that. However, based on some research it won't be valid code.
So to sum it up again, I need the entire div (#parentdivimage) to be a href link.
UPDATE 06/10/2014: using div's inside a's is semantically correct in HTML5.
You'll need to choose between the following scenarios:
<a href="http://google.com">
<div>
Hello world
</div>
</a>
which is semantically incorrect, but it will work.
<div style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="window.location='http://google.com';">
Hello world
</div>
which is semantically correct but it involves using JS.
<a href="http://google.com">
<span style="display: block;">
Hello world
</span>
</a>
which is semantically correct and works as expected but is not a div any more.
Why don't you strip out the <div> element and replace it with an <a> instead? Just because the anchor tag isn't a div doesn't mean you can't style it with display:block, a height, width, background, border, etc. You can make it look like a div but still act like a link. Then you're not relying on invalid code or JavaScript that may not be enabled for some users.
Do it like this:
Parentdivimage should have specified width and height, and its position should be:
position: relative;
Just inside the parentdivimage, next to other divs that parent contains you should put:
<span class="clickable"></span>
Then in css file:
.clickable {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
left: 0;
top: 0;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
}
The span tag will fill out its parent block which is parentdiv, because of height and width set to 100%. Span will be on the top of all of surrounding elements because of setting z-index higher than other elements. Finally span will be clickable, because it's inside of an 'a' tag.
Going off of what Surreal Dreams said, it's probably best to style the anchor tag in my experience, but it really does depend on what you are doing. Here's an example:
Html:
<div class="parent-div">
Test
Test
Test
</div>
Then the CSS:
.parent-div {
width: 200px;
}
a {
display:block;
background-color: #ccc;
color: #000;
text-decoration:none;
padding:10px;
margin-bottom:1px;
}
a:hover {
background-color: #ddd;
}

Two things you can do:
Change #childdivimage to a span element, and change #parentdivimage to an anchor tag. This may require you to add some more styling to get things looking perfect. This is preffered, since it uses semantic markup, and does not rely on javascript.
Use Javascript to bind a click event to #parentdivimage. You must redirect the browser window by modifying window.location inside this event. This is TheEasyWayTM, but will not degrade gracefully.
I'm surprised no one suggested this simple trick so far! (denu does something similar though.)
If you want a link to cover an entire div, an idea would be to create an empty <a> tag as the first child:
<div class="covered-div">
<a class="cover-link" href="/my-link"></a>
<!-- other content as usual -->
</div>
div.covered-div {
position: relative;
}
a.cover-link {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
This works especially great when using <ul> to create block sections or slideshows and you want the whole slide to be a link (instead of simply the text on the slide). In the case of an <li> it's not valid to wrap it with an <a> so you'd have to put the cover link inside the item and use CSS to expand it over the entire <li> block.
Do note that having it as the first child means it will make other links or buttons inside the text unreachable by clicks. If you want them to be clickable, then you'd have to make it the last child instead.
In the case of the original question:
<div id="parentdivimage" style="position:relative;width:184px;height:235px;border-width:2px;border-color:black;border-style:solid;text-align:center;">
<a class="cover-link" href="/my-link"></a> <!-- Insert this empty link here and use CSS to expand it over the entire div -->
<div id="childdivimage" style="position:absolute;top:50%;height:62px;margin-top:-31px;">
<img src="myimage.jpg" height="62" width="180">
</div>
<!-- OR: it can also be here if the childdivimage divs should have their own clickable links -->
</div>
Make the div of id="childdivimag" a span instead, and wrap that in an a element. As the span and img are in-line elements by default this remains valid, whereas a div is a block level element, and therefore invalid mark-up when contained within an a.
put display:block on the anchor element. and/or zoom:1;
but you should just really do this.
a#parentdivimage{position:relative; width:184px; height:235px;
border:2px solid #000; text-align:center;
background-image:url("myimage.jpg");
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-repeat:no-repeat; display:block;
text-indent:-9999px}
<a id="parentdivimage">whatever your alt attribute was</a>
This can be done in many ways.
a. Using nested inside a tag.
<a href="link1.html">
<div> Something in the div </div>
</a>
b. Using the Inline JavaScript Method
<div onclick="javascript:window.location.href='link1.html' ">
Some Text
</div>
c. Using jQuery inside tag
HTML:
<div class="demo" > Some text here </div>
jQuery:
$(".demo").click( function() {
window.location.href="link1.html";
});
I simply do
onClick="location.href='url or path here'"
What I would do is put a span inside the <a> tag, set the span to block, and add size to the span, or just apply the styling to the <a> tag. Definitely handle the positioning in the <a> tag style. Add an onclick event to the a where JavaScript will catch the event, then return false at the end of the JavaScript event to prevent default action of the href and bubbling of the click. This works in cases with or without JavaScript enabled, and any AJAX can be handled in the Javascript listener.
If you're using jQuery, you can use this as your listener and omit the onclick in the a tag.
$('#idofdiv').live("click", function(e) {
//add stuff here
e.preventDefault; //or use return false
});
this allows you to attach listeners to any changed elements as necessary.
